WH Flowers as father to JR Baylor in Virginia

I am trying to find the parents to James R(obert?) Baylor, b. app 1836/37. I have found a rootsweb which lists William Henry Flowers b. 1810 Prince Edward Co., Va and Edith Rutledge b.1820 as his parents.JR Baylor goes on to marry a Susannah VanPelt, who is a Dunkard (German Brethren or Mennonite, generally) and from a religious family (Funk and Frank). I am trying to ascertain if JR Baylor was orphaned, apprenticed, indentured or a ward. I have found his grave in Greenhill Cemetery near Staunton, but no relatives (odd).He is my husbands direct ancestor, through his son, John William Baylor b. 1867 Augusta Co., VA. Please, please, share your thoughts or ideas.......I am STUCK
